http://tinyurl.com/575g9w Local Medical Clinic Patients Among 500 Victimized In Major Identity Theft Ring Sheriff's detectives are looking for a Fort Bend County medical clinic employee believed to have contributed patient information to a major area identity theft ring. Tracy Spencer-Gilmore, formerly with Kelsey Seybold Clinic, was one of 38 people indicted over the past several weeks in connection with an identity theft ring in which more than 500 people in four area counties were victimized, the Sheriff's Office said in a statement Thursday. [...] The last of those indictments were handed down by a Fort Bend County grand jury earlier this month. [...] Detectives believe Dixon used personal information from more than 500 people in applying for more than 1,000 short-term "payday" loans valued at between $200 and $800 each, the Fort Bend Sheriff's Office said in a statement. Fraudulent loans are believed to have exceeded $230,000 in value.
